sorry for MIA


Hey Reader,

I've been writing on the internet since 2018.

Been a full-time creator and writer since 2020.

I preach consistency and being ahead of your content calendar.

And yet, I haven't sent a proper newsletter for three weeks.

Shame on me.

But I had good reasons (if you're mean, you'll call them excuses).

Well, sometimes, you have to shift your priorities.

A LOT has happened over the last few weeks (details below), and since I only have so much time, the newsletter was my sacrifice.

Here's a quick overview of what I've been up to:

🎉 We launched the Substack September boot camp & became bestsellers!

This basically means we now have 100+ paid subscribers for our Write • Build • Scale Substack publication, which is an incredible achievement given that we only started to publish on Substack 3 months ago.

As part of the boot camp, we already hosted workshops on various topics like:

You can subscribe to our paid tier to get full access to all replays and our member-only library.


🧡 The Substack Mastermind Community is ON.

Over the past month, my partner Philip has built an entire Substack Mastermind Community, and we officially kicked off with 30+ incredible members last week.

It's an invite-only community full of brilliantly talented writers, entrepreneurs, and marketers on a mission to use Substack to grow their:

  • incomes
  • audiences
  • and businesses by supporting each other

My heart is extra happy to have a large number of female writers inside the Substack Mastermind Community, and I can't wait to see this wonderful space grow.


🇬🇷 Been at my happy place.

I spent the past week eating my weight in tzatziki on the Mamma Mia island in Greece. It's the seventh Greek island I've visited over the past three years, and I already can't wait to go back in spring.


Well, that's it - that's why I haven't written newsletters for the past three weeks.

I'm back on track with lots of exciting resources, ideas, and announcements to come over the next few days.

As a writer, your mind keeps spinning and creating ideas, even if you don't have time to write, which basically means I have even more to share now.

Thanks for your patience and curiosity, my friend - I'll be back in your inbox very soon with an idea that I haven't been able to stop thinking about for the past two weeks.

Big love from my screen to yours,
Sinem

Hey Reader, I write hundreds of newsletters per year, but this one is particularly close to my heart. The start of a new year is a special time for most people, but for me, it's also a reminder of how I took the leap to build my writing business. Five years ago, I decided to go all-in on my writing. I set a simple New Year's Resolution to write every day. And I actually did it. Three months later, my work was read by close to a million people, and I was hitting 5 figures in earnings per...

Hey Reader, As we get closer to the end of the year, my favorite thing to do is to declutter and get ready for the new year. I delete all unnecessary tasks, so I can focus on what truly matters in the new year to grow my audience and income. The good news is that I prepared a few resources that'll help you do the same, so you're ready to absolutely crush your goals in 2025: ✅ Study the Online Writing Trends for 2025 I recently published an in-depth report about 7 trends that will shape the...
